A strike by the SA Transport and Allied Workers' Union (Satawu) was called off today after an agreement was reached with the Road Accident Fund. "[We] clinched a deal with RAF management in the early hours of this morning after intense negotiations over the six demands tabled by Satawu," said union spokesperson Tinzi Lubabalo.
The detail of the agreement was not disclosed but workers were striking over a new operating system, which they feared could lead to job losses and changes in working conditions. More than 1 000 workers in East London, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria participated in a protest last week and workers were meant to continue striking on Monday.-Sapa
